Abstract: This paper will attempt to examine specific problems and challenges that pertain to the role of the historical sociologist who must not only record and interpret recalled events, but must also beware of possible "conflicts of interest" in the informant's/expert's relationship with the rest of society. The paper will use select examples from Somalia to show some possibilities of how and why people could manipulate historical data which, when published or reported officially, may facilitate their claim on resources and/or other preferred economic and socio-political outcomes.

Questo documento tenta di esaminare particolari problemi e sfide proprie del ruolo del sociologo storico, che non deve solamente registrare ed interpretare gli eventi, ma deve anche fare attenzione a possibili "conflitti di interesse" nel rapporto dell'informante/esperto con il resto della società. Il documento utilizzerà esempi dalla Somalia per dimostrare come e perché le persone possono manipolare dati storici che, quando pubblicati ufficialmente, potrebbero favorire le loro richieste di risorse e/o altri risultati economici e socio-politici.
